Kessels Algorithm
Three-Process Mutual Exclusion
Three-process mutual exclusion algorithm implementation in C++. Ensures that only one process can access a critical section at a time, preventing race conditions in concurrent systems. Uses shared variables and message passing to coordinate between three processes without deadlock or starvation.

Key Features
Mutual Exclusion
Only one layer winner proceeds to the second layer, ensuring exclusive critical section access.
Deadlock Freedom
Timeouts and tie-breakers force progress - if both contend, one flips the tie bit.
Starvation Freedom
Each contender eventually becomes the winner due to alternating tie-breakers.
